Permissions on tcagame

[Codemeister]

Hi all,

 

I've been searching for some days now, but I did not find any related topics.

The question I am trying to answer is that TCAGame, the local user for running gameservers, does not have permissions.

 

When I try to start a gameserver after installing it, TCAGame tries to start the process. Nothing happens though, no error, nothing. I already switched the games so they run as Local Admin, but to avoid security risks I would like to configure the TCAGame-user so that it actually works.

 

I am running Windows Server 2012 R2, the OS is installed on the C-disk, the games (and thus gameservers) are installed on the D-disk.

 

Any suggestions? Or is it a known problem?

 

Thanks,

Julian

Have you tried the "Rapair" button located under "Actions" on the gameservers tab ?

 

This button usually fixes all kind of permission related problems

The game files were located on D: and the TCAdmin installation was located on C: - this was causing permission issues. Couldn't get it to work. Changed back to files on C: and everything works now.

That should not cause a problem. The last company I was with had hundreds of servers with TCA installed on C and game services installed on D. There was never a problem.

No, shouldn't be a problem. We've done that as well.

I figured, but since I spent too much time on getting it fixed, I decided to go back to one disk. The I/O traffic from the OS is so low that it probably won't cause issues on the gameservers. Or at least I haven't noticed.
